Chorus
Look to it, all ye bards, who, in malicious strains, expose our amours and unholy bonds of lawless love; see how far our
1090
virtue surpasses man’s disloyalty. Change the burden of your song and keep your spiteful verse to brand man’s faithlessness. For this scion of the stock of Zeus
1095
shows himself a heedless wight, denying to the mistress of his halls the lot of mutual offspring, and, paying all his court to some strange love,
1100
hath gotten him a bastard son.
